"Share cannot be found" Help needed MAC to WIN XP

I have a MBP and I am attempting to connect to a Win XP Desktop with a external USB hard drive attached. I can access through finder ANY share on ANY internal hard drive on the XP computer no problem. I can SEE any share I create on the USB hard drive pop up in finder. When I go to access the share on the external USB I get an error saying "The operation cannot be completed because the original item for [sharename] cannot be found." Once again any share that is on a internal harddrive is fully accessable. I have no issues accessing any mac shares from XP. JUST no access on the mac from the USB HD... Any Solutions? Ideas? Chants? Sacred Dances? I almost want to throw the MBP out the window... Did I mention it used to work fine before I upgraded to leopard?

Welcome to Discussions!
What format is the external drive in?
(a chant may help-but I have yet to determine which one. )
Good luck!

HT5654 After updating iCloud application on Vista I am unable to access iTunes, I get the following message: (Need to reinstall application, APSDameon.exe, MSVCR80.dll cannot be found) I need some help rectifying this issue because I cannot reinstall

Hello,
I have installed the update that was sent on or around January 24th - 26th 2014, after the failure of the apple iTunes update the iCloud update was installed. Ever since these 2 updates I am unable to open iTunes and I receive the following message: (need to reinstall iTunes application, APSDameon.exe and MISVCR80.dll cannot be found). I have tried reinstalling iTunes and cannot do so, I really do not want and cannot afford to restore my pc to a previous date because of new data on my PC. I am requesting assistance from support so that I can rectify this issue, thanks in advance for any assistance you may provide.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

The folder itunes cannot be found or created - mac os x user

I am a die-hard OS X user and have been without my iTunes for over a month now. I continue to get "the folder itunes cannot be found or created." I've read the posts here and see that PC users have a utility that will work for them, but us OS X users are sort of left out in the cold.
Please help. I've deleted my iTunes folder and there is currently nothing in there. When I launch iTunes, I get the same message. When I create the folder it's looking for and try to launch iTunes it still give mes the same message. i'm stumped. Please help.

it might be best to repost over at the iTunes for Mac forums, C.
our techniques for dealing with that message involve adjusting special properties on folders in the registry ... and i don't know how that ends up translating into the Mac OS and UI.

Help Needed - Mac Pro tells me to restart during start up

A couple of weeks ago my pc froze and the screen went fuzzy with green and blue, so I held the power button down. Upon restart, I was told I needed to restart my pc again, and from there it started up fine and I had been using it up until now.
This time I can't get past the initial loading page with the Apple logo and grey screen, and the green / blue glitchyness has reappeared. I m still prompted to restart my pc, but so far, after several attempts, none have worked.
Any ideas? For the record, I don't know a whole lot about the technical side of my Mac.

Esprimo U9200 - Battery status problems - Fix Found, Help needed!

After months with this bug, and unsuccessfully searching for a solution, it seems like I found one in the edubuntu wiki.
But I need help, seems this solution is based on the ubuntu distro tools, and since Im not such an advanced user of (Arch) Linux, therefore I don't know how to adapt this solution to Archlinux.
From the related entry in the edubuntu wiki: https://wiki.edubuntu.org/LaptopTesting … primoU9200
Battery: the BIOS DSDT has a bug, which causes to incorrectly show the Charged and Discharging states. The fix is easy. First we'll get the DSDT table and dissasemble it:
sudo apt-get install iasl
cd
mkdir DSDT
cd DSDT
sudo cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > dsdt.dat
iasl -d dsdt.dat
gedit dsdt.aml
Ok, now you should have your dsdt file open. So let's fix it, look for the following code in Device (BAT0), under the Method (UPBS, 0, NotSerialized) subsection:
If (LEqual (Local0, 0x02))
And (Local7, One, Local0)
If (LEqual (Local0, One))
And (Local7, 0x80, Local1)
If (LEqual (Local1, 0x80))
Or (Local4, 0x02, Local4)
Else
Or (Local4, One, Local4)
Ok, now let's fix it. Else code is misplaced, it has to be moved out of the If (LEqual (Local0, One)). So, it should be:
If (LEqual (Local0, 0x02))
And (Local7, One, Local0)
If (LEqual (Local0, One))
And (Local7, 0x80, Local1)
If (LEqual (Local1, 0x80))
Or (Local4, 0x02, Local4)
//ELSE WAS HERE
// ELSE CORRECT PLACE
Else
Or (Local4, One, Local4)
Now, simply save and close gedit, and let's continue:
cd
cd DSDT
iasl -tc dsdt.dsl
sudo cp dsdt.aml /etc/initramfs-tools/DSDT.aml
sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
So, that's it. What we've done is recompile the DSDT including the fix, moving it into the initramfs and then recompiled the initramfs so that the custom DSDT gets loaded. After rebooting the battery status should be always ok.
I managed to install iaml, disassemble the DSDT from /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT (and not the pathe the wiki says) and do the changes the wiki says, and recompile it, but Im not really sure of what to do after that.
The commands to make the initramfs and the configuration files I probably need to modify to include my patch are different. Any help on those? I marked the lines I need help with as bold. Thanks.

I found how to do it with initramfs, but I also discovered that custom DSDTs through initramfs are no longer supported since kernel 2.6.30.
So I had to recompile the kernel, including the custom DSDT in the kernel build. Sadly Im not so good with ABS so I just modded the original kernel26 package. IIt works perfectly. hope that sometime soon I ll manage to make a PKGBUILD for a kernel26-u9200 package.

IPhoto Library cannot be found HELP !!

I went to open my iphoto but i got a message that said my photo library could not be found, Choose library or start a new one. I couldn't find the library on my hard drive and so i selected new library and iphoto opened with none of my saved photos.
Can someone help me?
Is it a coincidence that immediately before this I downloaded an upgrade for quicktime player from this apple website?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated : )
Thanks

"original file could not be found" help needed please

Hello and help...please
i have a new laptop, so i saved my itunes music library to an external drive to transfer it to the new machine. I uploaded to itunes with the simple 'add folder' option and all my songs appeared in itunes everything is great i thought.
However, every single song i click on to play comes up with
"the song "insert title here" could not be used because the original file could not be found. would you like to locate it?"
I have searched long and hard through the itunes help etc and found nothing.
can anyone help me? please?
many thanks for taking the time
phill

for windows version, you have to check the "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" in preference pane. then every time you add songs to your library iTunes will copy the original files to your iTunes library folder so you don't have to worry about the original files missing or moved.

The iPod cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found using a MAC

My airport is active but cannot be found by my MAC devices?

Hi there, I have the following issue. My airport express is active and found by my router. It also shows a green light. Unfortunately all of my MAC devices can't find it. The airport config utility indicates that the airport device can't be found. Is there someone who has an idea. I am still using IPv4 by the way.

At this point I would recommend that you perform a complete power recycle of your networking hardware. Check out the following AirPort User Tip for how. Please post back your results.

Creative Cloud Connection Help Needs Mac Support

I'm very happy to see that the Creative Cloud Connection preview is now available.
I was VERY disappointed to see that the Help file only covers Windows computers. Please update it to support Macintoshes as well!

The "Creative Cloud Help / Getting started with the Creative Cloud Connection" page does have a section on MacOS: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/desktop-sync-getting-started.html
Is there a specific problem you're having with Creative Cloud Connection that you need help with?

Unable to open JPG file, getting "unknown or invalid JPEG marker was found", help needed

Info:
MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
Adobe Photoshop 64bit CS5 etxended (Version 12.0 x64)
So downloaded some JPG files from the web and trying to use some of them as wallpapers. I am able to open them in Windows viewer and some other prgrams but they are the wrong size for my screen so I wanted to change the resolution and opened them into CS5 and sound that some of them would not open. I am getting the following error "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid JPEG marker was found" and yet there does not seem to be anything I can do to resolve this to open them into CS5.
Any thoughts or advice?

Open them into another viewer, copy, then FIle-New in Photoshop and Paste.
Photoshop is picky and a file that does not properly follow the JPEG standards could cause this kind of problem. Other apps are sometimes more forgiving.

Exception lies in the above line .. I am not able to debug

To get the ReportEngine object use the following code:
